Warclub Nickel and Gold, NW Ontario

• TARGET TYPE: Mafic-ultramafic hosted Ni-Cu sulphide and Au in iron formation.
• STATUS: Grassroots prospecting, mapping, and sampling.
• POTENTIAL: Good. Large property with numerous untested AEM conductors.
• RESULTS: Limited prospecting identified gabbro body with AeroTEM conductors. Drill testing intersected semi-massive sulphide in metasediment. Assay results pending.
• OWNERSHIP:100% Whetstone Minerals.

Warclub, located in the Kenora district, lies 16 kilometres north of Whetstone's Pipestone project, and 3 kilometres from Canadian Arrows Mines Ltd. Kenbridge sulphide nickel deposit which is currently under development.

The WarClub property has not been extensively explored. In the 1950's, Inco and Falconbridge completed six reconnaissance holes. In 2004, Western Warrior Resources completed a 4,395 line kilometre high resolution aeromagnetic survey followed in 2006 by a 1,887 line kilometre AeroTEM III electromagnetic survey. The survey detected numerous formational and non-formational conductive trends and associated magnetic features for follow up ground investigation. In 2008, prospecting of the conductors was initiated but not completed. A mafic intrusion with associated strong AEM and magnetic responses was identified and recommended for drill testing. Two holes were completed and semi-massive sulphides associated with the footwall sediments were intersected. Assay results are pending.

In 2009, in addition to the continued prospecting of the short strike length conductors for Ni sulphide mineralization, the regional formational conductors interpreted to represent iron formation will be investigated for their gold potential.
